WANdisco stands for Wide Area Network Distributed Computing, and we make software happen.

This is because our technology is the secret ingredient behind the products that you use every day – from mobile phones to machinery. We are an active member of the community that develops the world’s most popular Source Code product: Subversion, and our technology is used by half of the world’s software developers.

Our customers include a host of Fortune 1000 companies such as Hewlett Packard, Intel, John Deere, European Southern Observatory, Barclays Capital, Walmart, GE and Cisco.

How it works

With our patented technology, software developers in distributed locations can work simultaneously, creating a seamless global network. Users at every site where WANdisco is installed have local access to the same data at all times, which means that they can make changes locally and see each other’s changes immediately.

We are proud to have a 98% customer renewal rate – which is driven by compelling ROI data: a recent study from Forrester Research has shown that our Subversion MultiSite offers a 167% return on investment with a nine-month payback period.

juzzle there is a wandisco thread.

sorry dreamcatcher - I thought there was but it didn't show in a WAND search yesterday. I hate it when posters launch unnecessary duplicate threds and I seem mto have inadvertently done so! I have now added a link to yours in my header.

EDIT: I've asked MoneyAM to cancel my thread.

Don't worry juzzle. We are up another 5% today . :-))

Wandisco – a 2014 PE of 103 but might still be cheap


On the basis of 2014 numbers this stock might look a tad expensive. But move forward a year and suddenly the Price Earnings ratio falls to a more reasonable 33. And this is a company that is perfectly capable of maintaining its sales growth at 30-50% for several years with clear operational gearing meaning that profits growth should be explosive.

Q4 2012 Bookings Update



Q4 Subscription Bookings increase by 76 per cent year-on-year



Renewal rate 140 per cent



Sheffield, UK - WANdisco (LSE: WAND), a provider of high-availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data and distributed software development, is pleased to provide the following update for the final three months of the year ended 31 December 2012.



In the fourth quarter, subscription bookings reached a new record level of $2.518 million, representing a 76 per cent increase year-on-year (2011: $1.427 million). When combined with bookings for the first nine months of the year of $5.399 million, the total bookings for 2012 were $7.917 million (2011: $4.618 million), representing an increase of 71 per cent.



Notable new customers secured in the fourth quarter include Apple, Fujitsu, Cap Gemini, General Dynamics, Delta Systems, Penn State University, E-Signal, Pioneer Investments, Georgia Tech and another division of Cisco. The company also announced new deals from its recently established presence in China including H3C and Nanjing Exchange.



The annualised renewal rate by booking value was 140 per cent. It should be noted that this number includes the impact of four existing customers, each of which significantly increased its usage of WANdisco products in the period. Excluding these four customers from the calculation results in an underlying renewal rate of 116 per cent, which is more consistent with historic levels. Renewals in the fourth quarter included John Deere, European Southern Observatory, Cooper Power, Amgen, Sherwin Williams, Mentor Graphics, Pitney Bowes, Ansys, Navis, Huawei and Western Digital.



During the period the Company announced the acquisition of pioneering Big Data company, AltoStor. The acquisition underscored WANdisco's drive into the Big Data solutions market, forecast by analyst firm Wikibon to grow at a compound annual rate of 58 per cent between 2012 and 2017 and from $5 billion to approximately $50 billion in the same timeframe. The addition to the WANdisco software development team of AltoStor co-founders Dr. Konstantin Shvachko and Jagane Sundar, who are among the core creators of Apache Hadoop has significantly reduced time-to-market for WANdisco's new big data products. As a result, the company now anticipates the release of its first Big Data products during the first quarter of 2013.



WANdisco will report results for the financial year ended 31 December 2012 on Thursday, 25 April 2013.

Fantastic news

David Richards has stated he would love to turn Wandisco into a $1 billion company.
If the company continues on this pace who knows may see £10 a share this year(or more) and who knows where this is going. I think the analysts have only just understood the company potential.
